It’s not too hard to figure why Harry Potter and Casey Anthony are the hottest pages this week. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 releases in United States theaters in a week (July 15) and people are gearing up. And, Casey got off OJ-like earlier this week, and the general populace is incredulous. Honey Badger has had a resurgence and I’m not sure why except that that video is unbelievably awesome and deserves to ride waves of adulation for years.
That’s quite a combination of subjects.
Harry Potter reaches such a broad segment of the population, because it has been going strong for like 14 years, and because it’s flat out awesome.
I’m sort of on the fence with these shirts. Here are the issues: One, as a country, the United States has much bigger problems to be concerned with. Two, people are profiting off a heinous crime. Three, since most people feel it’s obvious Casey is guilty, the humor gives them a chance to sort of laugh to blow off steam.
Randall caught the zeitgeist by the balls and squeezed as tight as he could. His nutty, inappropriate narrative over a Discovery Channel documentary on a cool little animal caught fire and is still sizzling.
